The Response of the Poor Believer

Allah tells us how the rich man's believing companion replied to him, warning and rebuking him for his disbelief in Allah and allowing himself to be deceived.

أَكَفَرْتَ بِالَّذِى خَلَقَكَ مِن تُرَابٍ

Read in Context

32. And present to them an example of two men: We granted to one of them two gardens of grapevines, and We bordered them with palm trees and placed between them [fields of] crops. 33. Each of the two gardens produced its fruit and did not fall short thereof in anything. And We caused to gush forth within them a river. 34. And he had fruit, so he said to his companion while he was conversing with him, "I am greater than you in wealth and mightier in [numbers of] men." 35. And he entered his garden while he was unjust to himself. He said, "I do not think that this will perish - ever. 36. And I do not think the Hour will occur. And even if I should be brought back to my Lord, I will surely find better than this as a return." 37. His companion said to him while he was conversing with him, "Have you disbelieved in He who created you from dust and then from a sperm-drop and then proportioned you [as] a man? 38. But as for me, He is Allāh, my Lord, and I do not associate with my Lord anyone. 39. And why did you, when you entered your garden, not say, 'What Allāh willed [has occurred]; there is no power except in Allāh'? Although you see me less than you in wealth and children, 40. It may be that my Lord will give me [something] better than your garden and will send upon it a [disastrous] penalty from the sky, and it will become a smooth, dusty ground, 41. Or its water will become sunken [into the earth], so you would never be able to seek it." 42. And his fruits were encompassed [by ruin], so he began to turn his hands about [in dismay] over what he had spent on it, while it had collapsed upon its trellises, and said, "Oh, I wish I had not associated with my Lord anyone." 43. And there was for him no company to aid him other than Allāh, nor could he defend himself. 44. There the authority is [completely] for Allāh, the Truth. He is best in reward and best in outcome.
